One sword strike, then another.
Neither fast nor slow.
Before three thousand True Inheritance Disciples, the Dao Rhyme of the Nine Extremes Sect, and countless cultivators,
Su Ye appeared in the vision, sweat dripping as he practiced the Nine Swords.
With every strike, sweat fell, and he improved step by step!
"No gift, however great, no opportunity, however extraordinary, can replace this..." someone murmured, emotion thick in his voice.

The True Inheritance Disciples and Holy Sons present compared them and immediately shook their heads!
The disparity was like that between an ordinary planet's Heavenly Chosen and a True Inheritance
